6 Books To Take Awesome Life Lessons From
My love for reading has been well documented on this blog over the last couple of years. And as much as I love getting lost in a good story nothing quite beats my passion for a book that I can learn from. I've rounded up my favourites to share with you today and I hope if you read them too then you'll also learn some awesome life lessons.
My All Time Favourite Ways To Treat Myself
I'm always interested to know how different people like to treat and pamper themselves. Some people love nothing more than relaxing with a new book and others might consider running or exercise their favourite thing to do when they want to unwind. I'm excited to share my favourites with you today and of course, I want to hear all about yours.
Sharing My Sidebar #4
After a slow and steady May, it's finally time to share the awesome blogs that have been residing on my sidebar in the last 30 days.
8 Highly Recommended Skincare Products
After sharing 8 of my most highly recommend beauty products it only felt right to share a skincare round up. When reading about skincare it's always important to remember that what works for that person might have the complete adverse effect on your skin. So be sure to take everything with a pinch of salt.
6 Typical British Summer Outfits
I long for the day that I get to experience a blissfully hot summer. But I live in the UK so the chances of that are very slim so I have to dress accordingly and we have odd summer months. In general, it's a little warmer and there are the odd heat waves. But on the whole, they're pretty unpredictable so here are the outfits that can work for a typical British Summer.
The Hand Creams That Are Worth The Effort
The process of applying hand cream is either something that you do or you don't. Personally, I'm a big advocate of using it because when you think about how much we put our hands through on a daily basis and that they're one of the first places to show ageing it only makes sense to take good care of them. The only problem is that it's just another step to add to our probably already lengthy beauty routines. But here are the ones that are totally worth it making a permanent part of your routine.
Embracing Loneliness
The topic of loneliness isn't something I'm shy to discuss. If you're not all that familiar with me or my blog you might not know that I have a long distance relationship with my lovely musician boyfriend who spends around 9/10 months of the year on the road around the world. So over the past three years, loneliness has become a huge part of my life. And it's always talked about in such a negative way and it's taken me a long time to embrace it yet alone enjoy it and it's something I'm pretty excited to discuss in this post.
Lightweight Bases; The Good & The Bad
Finding a good lightweight base for the summer months is tough. So often they can wear away within a few minutes or offer up little to no coverage. I've rounded up some of the best I've found today for a multitude of skin types and one that sadly doesn't live up to the hype.
Getting Stuff Done When You've Got Serious Brain Fog
The past week I've experienced the worst brain fog I've ever encountered. And whether I believe Mercury being in Retrograde could be the culprit or not is a whole different matter. But regardless of what the cause was, I've still had a terribly foggy brain and it's made getting anything done seriously difficult. And when you work from home and you're your own boss it's not the best combination. Because of course, I still have to get things done. So here are a few ways I've found to still get things done whilst working around the brain fog if it's something you're dealing with too.
